This WikiProject aims primarily to organize articles about programming languages. See List of programming languages, for a list of these articles. Work is going on at Categorical list of programming languages.
The parent of this WikiProject is WikiProject Computing. There are two descendants, WikiProject C++ and WikiProject Ruby.
Participants
To add yourself in this WikiProject, there are two steps to follow:
First: Put the User:NerdyNSK/Userboxes/WikiProject Programming languages userbox in your userpage by typing {{User:NerdyNSK/Userboxes/WikiProject Programming languages}} which produce:
PL | This user participates in WikiProject Programming languages. |
Second: Add yourself to the list using three tildes (~) and this will insert your username as a link to your userpage (and a link to your user talk page). Or you could use {{User|your_username}}.

Style guide
An article describing a programming language should generally include at least
- Fill in Template:Infobox programming language
- A brief outline of the history of the language
- An overview of the language features
- Programming paradigm(s) that the language supports, and how well it supports them
- Style of type-checking, support for design by contract or other specification techniques
- Memory management style
- A basic introduction to the language syntax (including some code samples)
- An overview of the formal semantics of the language (if one exists)
- A list of available implementations and supported platforms
The following languages have achieved Good Article status, and would thus make good models:
Hierarchy definition
- Imperative
- Object Oriented
- Aspect Oriented
- Object Oriented
- Functional
- Logic
- Stack Based / Concatenative
There is some discussion of categorization schemes at Template talk:Major programming languages/Archive2.
